A chimney sweep will do a extensive chimney cleaning to remove any deposits, soot, creosote, and also obstructions from the chimney. Filthy, damaged deteriorating, and obstructed chimneys trigger injuries as well as fires each year. If you use you fire place or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association suggests having your chimney checked and swept annually in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service professional will execute a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and also are not suggested. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To start, a cleaning specialist will protect the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the area, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with plastic sheeting, putting an industrial vacuum cleaner hose pipe right into the fireplace, and will then tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum with a fine micron filter which sits outside. This will catch the fine soot, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next off, they will clean the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and brushes with extension poles. Normally they will start at the top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully brushing all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a tiny portion of the plastic sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed and cleaned. The plastic sheeting and tarps will be moved outside, cleaned off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brown, oily, tar-like material which develops from burning wood or coal. It begins as a loose, feathery build up which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates much more, it comes to be tar-like, and is more difficult to remove, occasionally needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and even more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fire place or wood stove, the smoke comes to be very hot. Hardened creosote can start to drip and also melt like wax. Once the build up of creosote is really heavy, it limits the airflow through the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to build up even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a number of various ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote build up causes decreased air movement and this can enable carbon monoxide gas to develop inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless and colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can also result in death.
Besides the carbon monoxide accumulation, creosote itself is poisonous. It can trigger inflamed skin and eyes, respiratory problems, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most unsafe thing about creosote is that it is exceptionally combustible. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to hold up against a high degree of heat, the strength of a chimney fire can promptly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep performed is the best and most reliable method to get rid of creosote. Our qualified chimney service companies take excellent care of your chimney and also your residence. We advise that you get your chimney cleaned and examined at the very least once a year in order to prevent fires and harmful build up.
How often a chimney must be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn within. Gas burning fire places should be examined annually. Although they burn cleaner, moisture, particles, cracks and other issues can develop which can allow carbon monoxide gas to enter into the house.
Oil burning flues ought to be cleaned annually to keep residue from developing.
Because wood burning fire places and stoves develop more residue and creosote, they need to be swept more regularly. A great rule of thumb is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned inside.
